Metal woods and cavity back irons changed the way the game of golf was played forever. And back in 2000, Pixl Golf was hoping to do the same thing when they introduced their patented pixl face technology. If you still don’t remember who the hell Pixl Golf is, maybe the visual of a honey comb smashed into the face of a golf club will jog your memory.
Ping actually used their technology years before Pixl Golf had their own line, with the Ping IsoForce, which sold over 300,000 putters. {insert pic of ping putter} The company had high hopes and some big names involved (Tom Stites, head designer for Nike Golf) with the hope of revolutionizing the game of golf once more. But for some reason they disappeared from the golf world just 3 years later.
But recently I came across a patent that may indicate they are wanting to get back into the game. The patent is assigned to Pixl Golf Company and the inventor is the same as before. This takes the USGA’s new adjustability ruling to the next level. Not only would you be able to swap out shafts in your driver but you would actually be able to change many aspects of the actual face. New Patent

I always thought their stuff looked cool back then, but now it just looks absurd.
